The Condominium Initiative focuses on strategies to ensure that condominium owners can preserve and maintain their homes. Assuming a sales price ceiling of $500,000, existing condominiums provide the most likely source of affordable ownership opportunities to low– and moderate-income households in Arlington.
Process and Goals
This initiative includes three major elements:
Build organizational capacity by providing resource materials, classes, workshops, direct technical assistance, and conducting outreach to association management, prioritizing condos primarily owned by low or moderate-income owners;
Promote capital improvements by developing strategies and programs that help support maintenance and renovation needs in existing affordable condos; and
Develop programmatic approaches for direct support by establishing cost-effective methods to provide direct assistance to financially vulnerable low– and moderate-income owners in the context of rising fees and capital expenses.
Condominium and Community Association Education Series
The City of Alexandria invites Arlington residents, particularly current condo owners and condo board members, to participate in a six-part Condo Education Series targeted to condominium and community associations. The goals for these classes include educating condo owners about the importance of effective condo board governance, determining appropriate reserve requirements, understanding Virginia state law and recent legislative changes related to shared communities, and more! Fall 2021 workshops will be held virtually.
All workshops are offered at no cost to participants, but registration is required.
